The K-1 buffer is abysmal, not quite so bad when using it in crop mode.

The main problem with the Pentax AF points is that they are too large and so when you focus on a subject and there is something behind it the camera has a hard time deciding which it should be focusing on and so starts to hunt. Smaller points (and therefore more of them) should help a lot.

From the preview of the new camera it seems there is no tilt screen which limits the usefulness of it being touch sensitive I would have thought. Hopefully the AF tracking will be able to keep up with the DPR cycle coming at it head on though.

Lens is in excellent condition, unfortunately I put the lens cap somewhere safe and now I can't find the ruddy thing. Comes with box and pouch. Really is an sharp little lens and one I would be keeping if I still had a crop body.

£350 incl UK postage.

Excellent results. I keep meaning to try as I live near the new forest which is perfect for this type of thing.

Very nice, the pheasant and the deer are great. The FA* 400mm gives a lovely OOF background.

Hard to believe I used to live only a few miles from Brownsea Island (and even now probably only about 25 miles away) and I have never been there.

Must admit when I saw this the other day (daylight) I also thought it needed better lighting so didn't bother posting a comment. Seeing it tonight in a well lit room it looks totally different and the lighting is spot on.

Even viewing pictures at different times of the day makes such a difference.

Shame, that would have been an interesting evening I'm sure.

All that rumour site does is nick stuff from Pentaxforums, the pictures were taken by someone that went to the Ricoh anniversary do and he has posted them on the forum over there.

Shows how mad it is on that forums, they are up to 40 odd pages on the subject already, probably 90% of them are just posts repeating something someone else said earlier in the thread and they couldn't be bothered to read it all.

Another thought, does that viewfinder look a bit yellow to you? Wonder if there’s any hybrid ideas going on there?
You have been reading too much on Pentaxforums
